LED Bulbs won't work together on same circuit.

I agree with Richard, some transformers have a minimum rating. Are u using individual transformers for each lamp?

2 way 2 gang light switch problems

Yip that's why I like joint boxes for lighting, everything back to a central point + able to operate any light from any switch with a single cable, not the most cost efficient as more cable is required but defo makes life much simpler. :-)

2 way 2 gang light switch problems

3 core t+e is really common in Scotland for 2 way light switching, never seen a new build that's done any other way. :-)

2 way 2 gang light switch problems

Do u mean you use a sleaved earth in a twin cable as a switch wire, how do you supply a cpc to the other switch?

RCD issue, or is it?

I presume it's a split load board, a crossed neutral would explain the wrong rcd tripping. The test button not working is odd, did it trip out on a 1/2 x IΔn test?

2 way 2 gang light switch problems

If that's T+E and the 2 black wires that are missing in that picture are neutrals connected together in a block, then the red going to the bathroom is a switch wire + u need to loop a feed from the adjacent switch. Odd to see a 2 way wired without 3 core though, I presume there are 2 cables at...

City & Guilds 2394/2395

Before I worked for AI the only updates I ever did was a 1 day regs update course. They have an odd way of doing things, they put me through 10 compex units which is more than is needed to work offshore, bonkers.

The refresher/update is a company requirement, I think the likes of NIC-EIC only require 2382-15 or similar to prove competence.

City & Guilds 2394/2395

There was 4 of us that were put on the course, 2 of them hadn't done the 2391 before so maybe that's the reason I ended up having to do that one.

I wasn't able to do an Amm 3 update for the 2391 because the 2394/2395 has replaced it. There may be training providers that still do it but the one we use don't.

The fact that the exam is closed book is very odd. The exam is more of a test of your memory rather than competence. I've been doing testing for years + I still refer to the literature for reference. I'd be lost without my Max Zs lists etc, haha..

Has anyone sat the new 2394/2395 version of inspection + testing? I did the original 2391 several years ago but because it is now obsolete, I had to update it. I found a lot of the content on the new course was focused on how to ensure compliance when recording/reporting results rather than the...
